Soviet 20 kopek 1932. Ugly, corroded, almost unreadable, but I kept it anyway.

I've kind of been collecting already by then - or else I wouldn't have noticed that one - but I don't know what my "collecting" back then consisted of, and in any case there's none of that part left anymore.

I think I've posted that story several times previously.

I started noticing wheat cents when I was about 9, which led me to raiding all the coin caches at parents' and grandparents' houses. Found about a dozen, all of which I still have in a little velvet bag

As far as purchased coins, my dad, who was not a collector, responded to a classified ad in a newspaper advertising "old silver dollars" for $10 each. He bought $100 worth and brought home 10 worn-slick common-date Morgans, one of which I still have.

Memories ...
